Commissioned in January 2001, the Chennai Trade Centre
(CTC) is managed by Tamil Nadu Trade Promotion Organisation
(TNTPO), a joint venture of ITPO and Tamil Nadu Industrial
Development Corporation (TIDCO).

The state-of-the-art CTC is incidentally
the first fair infrastructure that has been developed by ITPO
outside Delhi. Set up over an area of 25 acres in Nandambakkam
at a prime location in Chennai, the Centre comprises two airconditioned
halls without pillars or columns encompassing areas of 5,000
sq. mtrs. and 1,850 sq. mtrs. constructed in the first phase.
These have been supplemented recently with a modern, fully
air-conditioned Convention Centre.

The
latter can accommodate 1,500 participants with a provision
for dividing the hall into two equal parts. The audiovisual
facility provided at the Convention Centre is of world standards
and is eminently suitable for multi-purpose use such as conferences,
conventions, cultural shows, etc.
